VAGARIES OF THE INSANE.
Specimens of Literary Products by Dis

eased Minds.
In a lecture at Indianapolis by DIR.
Fletcher, the Superintendent of the
State Lunatic Asylum, many curious
and interesting facts are brought out
in regard to the vagaries of the insane.
Most of them, he said, were itching
to write, and if furnished with writing
materials they would spend most OF
their time in this occupation. Some OF
their productions show considerable
literary ability, but the majority OF
them are the most senseless kind OF
jargon.
The lecturer had portfolio Of these
writings. many of which were in verse,
but the majority in prose, which he
read to the great amusement OF hls
audience.
The following was written by young
lady who was affected with hopeless
melancholia, as the character of the
poem indicates:
There IS something which I dread
It is dark and dreadful thing;
It steals along with whitening tread,
And sweeps on wild distinctions wing.
That Thought comes Ger IL IN the hour
OF grief, Of sickness. or ,f sadness;
It's not the dread OF death-'Ll5 moro
It is the dread of madness.
OH may these thr0hbing pulses pause,
Forgetful Of their fevcrI5h course;
May hot brain. which burning glows,
With all a fiery whirlpools force,
Be cold. and mOtionlc-s, and still,
A tenant ofits lonely bed.
The author of the following was evi-
IDENTIFY in a state of extreme mental dis
order, for it is enough to make ones
head swim even to read it:
Oh, that my brain would bleat like but
tered peas,
And oft, by frequent bleating, catch
the itch;
Grow black and NANCY as the Irish seas,
To gender whirlwinds for some north
ern witch.

THE ISLE OF SPRINGS
nas ene Elan Just Completed by n B.
ana T. D. Capen Shows CONCERNING II.

ne plan of the Isle of Springs made from
.ne surveys OF T. b. and c. d. Capen has
just been completed by these gentlemen. and
Is To be seen at the rooms of Dirieo Busine..
ooiiege. The Journal reporter examined the
WORK yesterday in company with member of
the committee on building and surveying. II
heeuiess TO say that this plan is an excel
ieht one and reflects much credit upon the
Messrs. Capen. The draughting has haen
neatly and carefully done, and the creates.
care taken to have everything in the work
thoroughly accurate. The plan shows tho
i"ca'ion OF the streets, lots, coves, beaches
springs, the heights of different elevations in
tact 1t presents all the information CONCERN
ing the island that could be secured nv
the most careful surveys. Some idea of the
patience required to make a plan like. this
may be had from the fact that after the
drawing itself was completed there was still
to be added over 1900 letters and figures
Inc committee are very much pleased with
'he work both as regards its accuracy and
| execution 1t is soon to be Autographed and
about 200 copies Of it put into the hands of
| the treasurer of the association for dis,ribu
ton. The plan shows 235 lots on the island.
There are ten different springs Of the purest
water on it so well distributed that no lot on
| the island, even the most remote will be 500
feet removed from some one of them There
are nine parks shown in the plan, making in
all haf,p II "A
to this purpose. There is a complete road
way around the whole island The highest
elevation shown on the map is 96.5 it, The
elevation of Ne krangan Hill, which is re-
served for the site of the hotel is IS 5 it,
The building which will be located there ear
ly next season will probably take the name of
| the hill and be called the Ne krangan House
The wharf which has been built on this
island is one Of the best, if not the best, that
can be found at any of the resorts in this sec
ton of the State. 1t runs ont from the shore
$50 fl, and has 60 #. front. II was built
in most substantial manner, and cost the
Association $500 The streets are very ap-
propriately named in general from the fea-
lures of their location. Most of the principal
| ones are forty feet in width, although some
of the cross streets are but 30 feet The
Association will own some four islands in
this vicinity, all of which are thought to be
excellent locations for summer resorts
The Committee on Building and Surveying
are indebted to Treasurer Swanton of the
Eastern Steamboat Line for a complimentary
trip to the island on their recent visit there.
The parks give an excellent chance for ball
| playing, tennis, croquet and other games.
Three new members have recently been
taken into the Association who will probably
build with the other members, making the
total number of cottages that will be erected
in the spring between twenty and twenty-five.
